well, compiling openjdk is a bit tricky, once i had to do it, and it involved 
some
mercurial black-magic so let's then postpone this for now until it arrives to 
nix-next.... :)

on tofino1 we're not too far from it: so we have a 210k lpm table and niifi 
bgp could be compressed to 250k without
default route, and some-ten-thousand if i accept the default from our primary 
peering router with ebgp to geant and level3...

dpdk have no upper limit on the tables, but such a table will bump the cpu 
data cache
misses so it'll will reduce performance when nmaping 0.0.0.0/0 with 
randomization...

also worth mentioning that this compression takes about 15 seconds on the 
server p4lang's
exporter thread which reduces reaction time to changes if a prefix flaps 
heavily... :)
